Live Reviews: British Wildlife Festival – Day 2 @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 06.03.11
Situated in a cramped basement somewhere in Leeds sat the dedicated few who had made it out to the final day of the British Wildlife Festival. People whose dedication would be rewarded with another full day of music, headed up by the clean discordant metal of Nitkowski. Yes the first band on today put on a hectic show of heavy music with only two guitars and a drum kit. The clean guitars really carved out the detail and complexity needed in this hard rock and fans of bass need not be afraid for the lower frequencies were added sporadically by a trusty octave pedal.

Live Reviews: British Wildlife Festival – Day 1 @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 05.03.11
"It’s the fifth of March at four O nine p.m. This is the Brudenell Social Club and we are Blacklisters". And so began a day of live music from home-grown Leeds bands the likes of which is rarely seen - with the legendary Billy proclaiming the above statement before hurling himself like a runaway locomotive into the first set of the day. Pulling his usual antics of stumbling aggressively through the crowd and ‘getting his Fosters buzz on’, Billy relied on a fantastically tight band to provide constant, hardcore, rhythmically-mental metal for him to do his thing to.

Live Reviews: Iron and Wine @ The Roundhouse, Camden 08.03.11
Holed up in the circular cavernous innards of Camden’s Roundhouse, Iron and Wine embark upon the first night of their UK Tour. Supported by the excellent Daniel Martin Moore, the general level of beardy bonhomie is slowly rising with the heat generated by the expectant fans.
